Thanks for forwarding that.
However, I'll bet you can do something similar with od and a program
that can show differences in 3 files. Here's how you can come close
using only two inputs with sdiff:
$ f() { od -Anone -w1 -v -tc "$@"; }
$ sdiff -w14 <(printf 'a\x06\xff\n'|f) <(printf 'a\x05\xff\n'|f)
a a
006 | 005
377 377
\n \n
